Abstract
A method and system is provided for assigning programs in a workflow to one or more nodes for execution. Prior to the assignment, a priority of execution of each program is calculated in relation to its dependency upon data received and transmitted data. Based upon the calculated priority and the state of each of the nodes, the programs in the workflow are dynamically assigned to one or more nodes for execution. In addition to the node assignment based upon priority, preemptive execution of the programs in the workflow is determined so that the programs in the workflow may not preemptively be executed at a selected node in response to the determination.
